Economic Development

Construction documents for any commercial building permit must be signed and sealed by a registered design professional in the State of Pennsylvania and must be reviewed and approved by a third party agency prior to submitting a building permit application to the Township.

North Fayette Township is continuing to experience growth and development. Our Township's population has grown by nearly 10% since the year 2000, but even with that increase, there still remains plenty of room to grow. North Fayette encompasses 27 square miles, and resides in an ideal location within the greater Pittsburgh area.

The purpose of the Local Economic Tax Revitalization Assistance Act (LERTA) abatement program is to encourage commercial and industrial business growth throughout Allegheny County. North Fayette Township has a LERTA District and LERTA Ordinance.
